On Wednesday I leave Sabah.

We give up our little apartment and go home, to where we have a house on the outskirts of Greater Kuala Lumpur.

My husband will be working at his old university (where he was one of the first academic staff recruited) which is just down the road from our house.

At least he won’t have much of a commute.

There will be lots of good things about being back on the mainland, but oh – I shall SO miss Sabah.

Here are a few of the reasons why: taken at the beach last week, just north of Kota Belud on the west coast.

That’s the Bajau Horsemen area, so of course one photo has to include a Bajau horseman.
